Depew Sees Smith Ford Nominations Unlikely for President
Chauncey M. Depew expressed that neither Governor Alfred E. Smith nor Henry Ford is likely to secure the Democratic or Republican nominations. He expects Harding to be renominated and elected, doubts Ford's candidacy after 75 years in politics, and notes Smith's signing of the Mullin-Gage repeal could shift sentiment on the Volstead act. He also discussed Harding’s world court idea and anti European sentiment shaping such debates.
